Commander Wolffe

Commander Wolffe (CC-3636) is one of Dad's favorite characters in the Clone Wars television series. We were both disappointed that Hasbro hasn't decided to make him as an action figure. To quell our disappointment, we borrowed a body from a CW Admiral Yularen action figure and used the leftover head from the Echo we used to make the Cad Bane in Clone Trooper disguise and now we have us a playable Commander Wolffe. Dad had to use some filler on the inside of the head to make it all fit and painted the neck to make the skin match better.

Commander Wolffe later had his original eye replaced with a cybernetic eye after Asajj Ventress struck him with her lightsaber.

For this figure Dad boiled and popped the legs off the two Wolffe figures we had and cut off the hands off of the new 2012 Wolffe. Dad then drilled two small holes in the end of the wrists of the figure. Then Dad popped the ball hinge wrists off the older Wolffe and inserted the pegs into the newly drilled holes.

Dad modified the pegs of the old Wolffe figure at the hip's hinge to make them small enough to snap into the hip of the new 2012 Clone Wars Wolffe and then used a black wash to weather the legs to match the rest of the figure.
